Excerpt from Our National Tendency and Its Goal: Being a Discussion of the Political and Industrial Direction of the United States Under the Influence of Prevailing Economic Forces, and Statement of the Causes Thereof, and the Means to Avert the Conclusion to Which Those Forces Are ProceedingIn pursuing an economic subject we should bear always in mind one fact, that is: that economic law, unlike municipal law, takes no account of political boundaries. We may as a nation adopt laws which we conceive to be to our particular interest, giving us a benefit as against the people across a border, and applying these to practice they may seem to us for a time, and perhaps for a long time, to work to our advantage, but if such statutes do not square with economic law, we shall, sooner or later in the life of the nation, awaken to the fact that these enactments, which we created to prosper ourselves to the detriment of the stranger, have really made victims of ourselves, and they have done us as much injury as they imposed upon those against whom they were aimed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
